two very reliable sources, bin Laden and the CIA.

Funny, but when bin Laden issued his claim that there was never, never would be, any connection between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein (pay no attention to the Salman Pak behind the curtain), Osama’s word was presented as the gospel truth by the Saddam defenders.

Hmmm…

McGehee - Keep pondering, only throw this into your ruminations: This anti-war lefty wouldn’t believe a word from Osama or Saddam for anything in the world. Nor would I believe CIA desk officers whose careers would be toast (not to mention their lives and families threatened) if they admitted today that they were intimately involved in any covert U.S. support for Osama in the past. Do I admit the possibility that Osama and Saddam were collaborators? Absolutely. Though we haven’t seen any concrete evidence of this to date, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if it surfaced. It’s also possible that they didn’t collaborate. I don’t know. But I’ll tell you one thing: I’m not going to believe Osama, Saddam, or CIA desk officers on this subject, no matter what they say. I’m not saying that you believe them, but the game you’re playing is no different than that played by those “Saddam defenders” you criticize.
